PIONEER SETTLER CERTIFICATE APPLICATION
|
Pioneer Settler Certificate Program In early 2006, the Jefferson Parish Historical Commission inaugurated a certificate program to honor those who settled Jefferson Parish. There are five categories of pioneer settlers, who are recognized through their direct descendants. The categories are: Centennial Settlers – residing in Jefferson Parish at least 100 years ago, but less than 125 years ago (1885 -1909) Quasquicentennial Settlers, in Jefferson 125–149 years ago (between 1860 -1884) Sesquicentennial Settlers, in Jefferson 150–174 years ago (between 1835 – 1859) Terquasquicentennial Settlers, in Jefferson 175–184 years ago (between 1825 – 1834) Jefferson Parish Colonials – persons residing in the area 185 or more years ago or before Jefferson Parish was established on February 11, 1825. To apply for a certificate, download and complete the application here. To download the form, you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader, which you may download for free here.
